HyADES項目的第一階段將包括對PW127Xt引擎燃油噴嘴和燃燒器模型的測試

MONTREAL, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney Canada will demonstrate hydrogen combustion technology on a PW127XT regional turboprop engine as part of a project supported by Canada's Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Technology (INSAT). The project, named Hydrogen Advanced Design Engine Study (HyADES), will be in collaboration with Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc., which will develop high-efficiency, low-cost electrolyzers needed for establishing hydrogen production infrastructure. Pratt & Whitney is an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business.

蒙特利爾,2024年11月6日 /美通社/ - 普拉特惠特加拿大將展示PW127Xt地區渦輪螺旋槳發動機上的氫燃燒技術,作爲加拿大可持續航空技術計劃(INSAT)支持項目的一部分。該項目名爲氫燃燒技術先進設計引擎研究(HyADES),將與Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc.合作,後者將開發所需的高效、低成本電解器,以建立氫生產基礎設施。普拉特惠特是RTX(紐交所:RTX)的業務。

"This collaborative project with INSAT enables us to develop key technologies for future hydrogen powered aircraft and complements our wider efforts to advance aviation sustainability through a range of pathways, including continued improvements to engine efficiency, hybrid-electric propulsion and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)," said Edward Hoskin, vice president, Engineering, Pratt & Whitney Canada. "While regional aviation represents one of the most promising use cases for hydrogen, the project will also demonstrate the versality of adapting the proven, highly efficient PW127XT turboprop engine to operate with low carbon alternative fuels and continues our legacy of technology leadership in this segment."

「與INSAT的合作項目使我們能夠爲未來的氫推動飛機開發關鍵技術,並通過一系列途徑推進航空可持續性,包括持續改善發動機效率、混合電動推進和可持續航空燃料(SAF)的兼容性,」普拉特惠特加拿大工程副總裁Edward Hoskin說。 「儘管區域航空代表了氫最具前景的用例之一,但該項目還將展示將經過驗證的高效PW127Xt渦輪螺旋槳引擎調整爲使用低碳替代燃料的適應性,並延續我們在這一領域的技術領導地位。」

Funding for the first phase of the project will include fuel nozzle and combustor rig testing using hydrogen fuel, while future phases will target full engine ground testing. The PW127XT engine is the most advanced member of Pratt & Whitney Canada's PW100 engine series, which has powered regional turboprop aircraft for forty years and accumulated more than 220 million flight hours. Launched in 2021, the PW127XT engine offers over 3% better fuel efficiency, 40% improved time on wing, and 20% reduced maintenance costs.

該項目第一階段的資金將包括使用氫燃料進行燃油噴嘴和燃燒器模型測試,而未來階段將針對全引擎地面測試。PW127Xt發動機是普拉特惠特加拿大PW100系列發動機中最先進的成員,已爲四十年來的區域渦輪螺旋槳飛機提供動力,並累積了超過22000萬飛行小時。PW127Xt發動機於2021年推出,燃油效率提高了3%以上,翼上時間提高了40%,維護成本降低了20%。

"We are thrilled to collaborate with INSAT and Pratt & Whitney Canada on this project," said Raveel Afzaal, president and CEO of Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. "The ability to produce green hydrogen at scale will be a critical enabler for reducing aviation CO2 emissions, whether using hydrogen as a direct fuel for combustion or as feedstock for SAF."

Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc.總裁兼首席執行官Raveel Afzaal表示:「我們很高興能與INSAt和普拉特惠特加拿大合作進行這個項目。規模化生產綠色氫將是減少航空CO2排放的關鍵因素,無論是將氫用作直接燃料還是作爲SAF的原料。」

As part of a second INSAT-supported project, Turbine Engine Advanced Materials for Efficiency (TEAME), Pratt & Whitney Canada will work with Derivation Research Laboratory (DRL) to explore advanced materials for hot section components of gas turbine engines, which will help to improve thermal efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Pratt & Whitney Canada will lead the overall project providing both technical input and project management, while DRL will provide world-class materials testing capability for a wide variety of critical material properties.

作爲第二個INSAt支持的項目的一部分,普拉特惠特加拿大公司將與Derivation研究實驗室(DRL)合作,探索用於燃氣渦輪發動機熱部件元件的先進材料,這將有助於提高熱效率,減少燃料消耗和排放。普拉特惠特加拿大公司將領導整個項目,提供技術支持和項目管理,而DRL將提供世界一流的材料測試能力,涵蓋各種關鍵材料性能。
